Got some #SSTV decodes from #RS5S satellite on the SatNOGS GS at VZLU AEROSPACE - such a shame it's coming from an IARU uncoordinated satellite in the #hamradio band ... network.satnogs.org/observations/6…

TIL that OpenAI #chatgpt3 can create ASCII art. It also seems to have a very disturbing idea of what a penguin is.

Družice VZLUSAT-2 🛰 vyrobená ve VZLÚ slaví rok na oběžné dráze. 📡 První signál na Zemi poslala 26. ledna 2022. Proto si zástupci firem a institucí, které na projektu spolupracují, připomněli úspěchy družice a sešli se přesně rok poté – 26. ledna 2023. 👉 vzlusat2.cz

Looks like there's an ARM hiding inside all SX126x series #LoRa transceiver ICs. Seems to be able to execute from RAM and has an SPI bootloader - I wonder how much can be done with this, hehehe ...

nice

Got 'em chief! Using the VZLU AEROSPACE SatNOGS ground station, hoping for clean decodes next time.

This feels good - I finally have a proper CI for #RadioLib, that automatically builds and runs programs directly on a #RaspberryPi. Oh yeah, and #RadioLib no longer depends on #Arduino - build it on anything, go nuts!

#RadioLib now includes support for #lora #aprs, compatible with the LoRa_APRS_iGate project (github.com/lora-aprs/LoRa…) Get it while it's hot! Send some packets! Track some stuff! github.com/jgromes/RadioL… #loraaprs

#RadioLib update 6.2.0 just dropped, and it includes #LoRaWAN support! Is 4 years fast enough turnaround to implement a requested feature? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ github.com/jgromes/RadioL… #lora #IoT

Competition's been tough, but now it's official: BOTH our missions have been selected for implementation! Two 100kg smallsats, the largest Czech spacecraft *ever*. We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are cool.

Smile, you're on camera ;)

#VZLUSAT2 deorbits in roughly 2-3 months - but what a journey this has been! 3+ years in orbit with no signifiacnt failures, still daily delivering payload data!

Do you like winning stuff? We are giving away #VZLUSAT2 T-shirts to the 3 best guesses of last contact date and time, which we expect in the next two months! Follow VZLU AEROSPACE and comment on the post below until 18.07.2025 23:59 CEST - bonus points if you beat my own estimate ;)

#RadioLib update 7.3.0 is out now with many improvements and bugfixes - and just in time for The Things Conference next week. If you're there, make sure to not skip Steven's keynote on RadioLib & its LoRaWAN stack! github.com/jgromes/RadioL… #lora #LoRaWAN #IoT
